For the first time all season, the Edmonton Oilers have strung together three straight wins, which puts them in uncharted waters. After a scoreless first 40 minutes, the Oilers got behind twice in the third period and came roaring back both times to knot the score. Dreaming of a .500 ChristmasThe win gives the 16-17-2 Oilers a chance to reach .500 for the season going into the Christmas break. In the first period, the Oilers looked sluggish, like a middle-aged uncle after Christmas dinner wandering toward the couch for a nap. A fourth straight win would go a long way to making Christmas a little merrier for the Oilers and their fans.
